If shorter lengths aze <br />required, the d:ings will indicate maximum lengths that can be used. '''ye amount of deflection at each <br />pipe joint wheL pipe is laid on a horizontal or vertical curve shall not e,�..eed the manufacturer's printed <br />recommended deflections. <br />Where field conditions recuire deflecdon or curves not anricipated in the drawings, the engineer will <br />determine the methods to be used. <br />When rubber gasketed pipe is laid on a curve, the pipe shall be jointed in a saaight alignment and thea <br />deflected to the cucved alig�unent. Trenches shall be made wides on curves for this purpose. <br />Maxur.wn deflections at pipe joinu and laying radius for various pipe ]engths are specified in the <br />following table, or if not, sliall conform to the manufacturer's and AWWA for the given type of pipe: <br />Maximc�m Permissihle Deflecdon in Laying Mechaaical-7oint Pipe <br />Size ' ' Max.
